Common Core Survey/Graphing

My first grade friends and I attended a PD training on Common Core math. I created this little survey so students can survey their friends. Students can choose their three categories, write them in the appropriate places on the graphs, and wa-la! If ya have any questions let me know! The line under the question line is for the title of the graph.

Place Value madness continues! Below is another game I just posted at my TPT store. Be sure to go check it out. Here is a little preview:

December Calendar Pieces available at my store:

Now for the FREEBIE...This is a brace map used to break numbers down to the numbers "parts." I will use this as an assessment to see which kiddos understand place value and the ones that still need more help. The whole number is written in the box and the rest of the map is filled out to represent that number. Students will complete this page independently. You could also use this to play the above game with the spinners instead of the record sheet. Just put these pages in page protectors and use with expo markers for  reuse. Happy Place Value Playing :-)

Thankful for...Linky Party!

1. What are you thankful for in your classroom?
I am HONESTLY going to say I am thankful for my SMART Board and doc camera. I LOVE both of these tools soooooooo much I can't imagine life without them.


2. What person are you most thankful for?
Wow....this is a tuffy because it is hard to narrow it down to just one. I am most thankful for my hubby. He has been super patient with my crazy obsessive compulsive behavior when it comes to my JOB- I spend just a little, ok a LOT of time {he would say way tooooo much} on my computer. My kiddos are right there with him!


3. What 3 blogs are you most thankful for?
I am thankful for these fabulous women behind these amazing blogs and I HOPE my blog becomes as great as they are...
                             

                                                            
4. What guilty pleasure are you most thankful for?
I think y most guilty pleasure is my Mac-I would be in serious trouble without it. It would truly be like loosing my arm! Horrible! It goes just about everywhere with me ...we truly are BFF's! Sick,  know!

                                                           

5. What are you most thankful for?

I am MOST thankful for my health, my children's health, my families health, the fact that we have a beautiful warm house, stability in such an unstable time, LOVING my job and my kiddos in my class, every day that I drive my one hour commute and get their safely {especially on snowy days}, my parents for helping me shuttle my five kiddos here, there, and everywhere...I could go on and on and on! But I won't!
